My position ? "It" IS NOT illusory. How we perceive it IS full of illusions - from our subjective perspective (see anthropic).
Science of the brain (and wider bodily systems) may explain more of the illusory perceptions of our minds - deciding to act based on what we "know" - but I don't believe it can ever take away the we. The causal relation between knowledge and action is no weirder than causation itself. Given the complex system of systems (of systems) that must comprise our minds, I prefer "free-won't" to "free-will".
